jBPM configuration file is located at $TOMCAT_HOME/jbpm.cfg.xml. If you edit this file, you will see something like this:

<jbpm-configuration>
  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.your-domain.com " />
  <string name="jbpm.mail.from.address" value="noreply@your-domain.com" />
  <string name="resource.mail.templates" value="jbpm.mail.templates.xml"/>
  <bean name="jbpm.mail.address.resolver" class="com.openkm.workflow.AddressResolver" singleton="true"/>
</jbpm-configuration>

Starting with OpenKM 5.1.8 you can also configure jBPM creating a file $JBOSS_HOME/jbpm.xml.

In older OpenKM installation with jboss the path is $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/OpenKM.war/WEB-INF/classes/jbpm.cfg.xml

As in JBoss mail configuration, you have to edit a couple of properties:

• jbpm.mail.smtp.host: this is the host where is located your mail server. Can be localhost if you have a local mail server installed (like Postfix) Typically the same value of mail.smtp.host.
• jbpm.mail.from.address: all the mails send by OpenKM will be from this email address. Can be in the form of noreply@your-domain.com. Typically the same value of mail.from.

jBPM will notify you when a task has been assigned to you or when it wants to send you a reminder. These mail templates are defined in the file jbpm.mail.templates.xml which is located in the same place as the previous one. Here you can define a more elegant mail message. Also you have to configure a parameter here:

• BaseTaskListURL: a value in the form of http://your-domain.com:8080/OpenKM.
